Sweet Onion Creations

Description:

Lee and Jake Cook created Sweet Onion Creations to capitalize on a passion they have for architecture and for the environment. Their company, they say, “is all about ideas you can touch.” They make architectural models that reduce the confusion between blueprints and architects’ clients. The architects send over a digital file and days later, the architects’ models arrive at their doorstep. The Cooks are big on recycling, ensuring low usage of non-recycled materials, conserve energy, and are finding that they can save money and get special consideration from customers through their green practices.
